FAQ

Water Heater Repair & Installation FAQs

As a general guide, tank units are often worth repairing under about 6 years old and worth replacing after 10-12 years or once tank leaks appear. We'll inspect your unit and give you an honest recommendation either way.

Tankless units take up less space and can provide continuous hot water, but the right choice depends on your household's usage, existing gas/electric supply, and budget. We'll walk you through the trade-offs during your estimate.

Most standard tank replacements are completed in a single visit. Tankless conversions or units requiring new venting or gas line work may take longer — we'll confirm the timeline before starting.
